1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Colonic diverticular bleeding is one of the primary causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, with endoscopic hemostasis as the first-line treatment. However, the outcomes of endoscopic treatments remain suboptimal. This study utilized an innovative therapeutic method to manage colonic diverticular bleeding and evaluated its feasibility and safety in clinical settings. Methods: Between July 2018 and July 2023, 35 patients with colonic divercular bleeding were treated through argon plasma coagulation combined with endoclips (APC-EC) at the Air Force Medical Center. The technical success rate, rebleeding rate, and complications associated with the therapeutic method over a 5-year period were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The technical success rate of the method was 100%, the early rebleeding rate of APC-EC was 8.57%. The incidence of late rebleeding at 1-year follow-up was 5.71%, it was 0% at the 2- and 3-year follow-up periods. Intraoperative perforation was observed only in two patients treated with APC-EC; however, delayed perforation was not observed in any patient, and none of them required surgical treatment. Conclusions: APC-EC might be a viable, safe, and effective method for treating colonic divercular bleeding.
